Biddy's Kitchen

We had a great experience a Biddy’s, really friendly and welcome service - excellent food, and a really nice atmosphere. We had booked and arrived a little earlier than planned, but the staff kindly let us sit at our table early. We opted for the afternoon tea which was delicious and so filling! We had to take some of our cake home.

Only slight confusion was I think an error in the booking system. We added a note to say that one of us was veggie. But the note received by Biddies was completely different - a member of staff asked us if we had ‘opted for that specific table in particular? As they didn’t normally book it out’. I said sorry and that I had no idea what they meant, we’d never visited this branch of Biddies before and hence wouldn’t request a particular table, we’d never been inside 😅

The homemade sausage rolls are amazing. Served with a small side salad and a small pot of onion marmalade, it is a perfect light lunch.
We also had a pot of tea, and shared a piece of coffee and walnut cake and a biscoff brownie. So good.

Popped in as we were in Aylsham to visit the Country Market.

Seated quickly in comfy chairs with a steamer trunk in between us as a table with 30's & 40's music being piped in behind us, a beautiful setting. There are traditional tables and courtyard seating too. Be warned, it gets busy at lunch time, so there may be a wait, but it is worth it.

We ordered a cheese and onion chutney finger sandwich which came with a salad, pickle and slaw, I had a sausage roll (biggest I've seen) which came with salad and pickle too.

My wife had a coke, but I selected their black tea and black cherry blend which came in a generous 4+ cup pot. Both the food and the tea were excellent, well presented, generous and very tasty.

Staff were lovely, very helpful and happy to answer any questions, even run off their feet and dealing with some rude customers, they did it with a smile.

Overall a great experience for the princely sum of £17, although I did end up spending a bit more to take away a bag of the excellent tea blend.

Biddys is a great cafe. The scones are great, in size and taste, the sausage rolls are excellent and they have a good choice of cake. Although I'm more of a savoury than sweet fan. The tea's and coffees are served in an eclectic mixture of tea services. Definitely worth a visit.

Stumbled across this place halfway through a fifteen mile walk. Had a really nice warm cheese scone with butter, followed by a lovely slab of Bakewell Tart and cream, with a pot of tea....All really good.
Would recommend to anyone who visits Aylsham....Nice atmosphere/decor, pleasant staff and great food at very reasonable prices....Will take the wife back for afternoon tea very soon!

Wow, wow wow, this is my favourite place for Afternoon tea following todays visit.

Rob greeted us in arrival. He got the ramp for us. Took us to our table and put us at ease.

With this afternoon tea you can choose one sandwich which was a large portion with a small salad on the side. A variety of fancy choices of sandwiches.  I had ham, chilli jam and brie (mum had the same) and Grandma had cucumber, soft cheese on white bread. Then we got to choose what scone you would like.  Now you may think fruit or cheese obviously,  oh no, you are mistaken!!! I had lemon scone and there were about 5 other choices. The last decision  to make is what cake would you like.  My goodness what a range. Huge pieces of cake which were freshly baked. I had salted Caramel brownie, my mum had coffee and walnut and my Grandma had victoria sponge. We had two large pots of English tea between three which was plenty. My favorite place for afternoon tea and would highly recommend. It's also £17.80 which is cheaper than some places!

The decor is oldie worldie. Playing 1920s music. Lots of clocks and books on the walls. The bathroom facilities have pennies as the floor and walls and old fashioned wallpaper making it rustic and matching the decor.

There is a outdoor area. Best to book in advance as small cafe.

Situated just off the market square in Aylsham is Biddy's Tea Room. The sister tea room to the one in Norwich.

Popped in with my wife for a bite to eat and boy oh boy it did not disappoint us. The place has an eclectic taste in furniture and decoration but that is part of the charm.

You have to wait to be seated but, the friendly staff soon came over and showed us to a vacant table. They then handed us the menu one for food the other for drinks and this is when the fun begins.

There are cold drinks and hot drinks available but, it's the range of teas that really is hard to decide on. Ceylon, Builders, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, to name a few. They also have their own blends.

The food was just as good. Sandwiches, afternoon tea, for one, two, three etc. Cakes, scones, biscuits the list was vast.

Eventually, we settled on Lady Grey and Biddy's own blend (my wife's favourite). A sausage roll each (massive!) and a slice of cookie dough brownie (to share, I'm not greedy).

The food was lovely and you got a pot of tea each with around 5 cups of tea in each. The sausage rolls came with chutney and a salad. The brownie had fresh cream and strawberries (for health).

The staff were brilliant today and very friendly and chatty and a real credit to the Aylsham branch.

Would I go again? Yes. Would I recommend it to friends, family and others? Definitely. If you're nearby pay it a visit. You'll not be disappointed.

I've been going here for years and can say it's a fantastic spot for cake and a drink although... the prices have gone up and some of the cakes have shrunk quite significantly which is a shame since it was already a bit expensive.
For example, the millionaire's shortbread is literally half the size it used to be while still costing ~£4.
Quality of the cakes, pastries, and hot chocolates is very good though and there's a nice atmosphere.

Will continue to go provided that the cakes don't shrink any further!

We had a wonderful afternoon tea at Biddy's Kitchen. I enjoyed the savory afternoon tea and my wife and daughter had the biggest cake slices I have ever seen. Great place to go and eat. Wonderful food at a wonderful price.

Very accommodating and friendly. Super tea and coffee. A slice of Victoria sponge (big as a dinner plate !) served with strawberries and chantilly cream. Just lovely Would highly recommend

What a great little find. Interior design beautiful and homely and characterful.
Highly recommended with lovely home made produce.
Every village needs a Biddy's.

Absolutely fantastic place to get an afternoon tea. Portion sizes are very good (especially the carrot cake, be prepared!) and there’s a huge selection of tea.

Fantastic, cute and friendly tea room. Lots of yummy treats especially the delicious and rather big afternoon tea 👌 we'll worth a visit.

What a find. Great atmosphere. Sausage roll and rose and raspberry cake were fabulous. So many lovely things to choose from! The staff were really helpful even though they were busy.

I’ve wanted to try this tearoom for a while now and we finally had time to try it out! IT DEFINETLY LIVED UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS.

We had the high-tea which was the savoury choice and it was delicious and well priced. We hadn’t booked a table but we got seated straight away, we then ordered our food and received it very quickly with some delicious wild cherry black tea.

The decor was cosy, homely and quirky.

I’ll be visiting here again and trying some of their beautiful cakes and scones.

What a wonderful afternoon tea! Great service, all freshly made and tasted delicious, plus they served the biggest slices of cake 😀. Highly recommended.

Want to say we had the fabulous time there and staff were so friendly especially one of them using sign language to communicate with us as we were both deaf. Afternoon tea were so lush and top quality. We will go back again soon

Very helpful and friendly staff.
Fantastic choice of Teas. Sausage rolls, scones and cakes all amazing. Certainly will go back and can highly recommend 😃

What a beautiful place, we had the most amazing time, fantastic service and good. We had afternoon tea and it's the best we have ever had definetly be back soon.

One of a kind. Cosy. Like travelling back in time. Comfortable. Friendly clientele and staff. Inspiring. Put down your phone and pick up a book. Old Jazz playing in the background. Be great if they had a coffee machine, but it's a tea room so that's just my preference. I'll be coming back. Well done guys
